Chapter 440 - Recurring problems (2)
But Harry still ignored her, and instead of stopping, his howls got louder.
“Hush! Don’t be noisy!” Fang Chixia shushed him anxiously, fearing that the old man would come out in the next second. She wanted to turn her head and leave, but the hem of her skirt was caught in his teeth.
“Harry, what’s wrong?” Just in time, a medium-spirited voice suddenly came from the room. By the sounds of it, the person would be out the next moment.
Fang Chixia grimaced as her gaze looked startledly into the door, pushing Harry with her hands again.
Harry ignored her and howled louder still in good spirits.
Fang Chixia sighed helplessly. Since she couldn’t escape, she might as well face everyone openly.
Inside the room, a blurry figure slowly appeared in her vision, until his figure cleared out and finally walked in full view.
“Yo!” Luo Yi looked at her again in surprise. His sight swept faintly over her, recalling Harry, “Come here!”
Harry was delighted to see him, twisting his chubby body in a circle around his feet.
“Great grandpa!” Fang Chixia greeted him respectfully.
“Since you’re here, let’s go in!” Luo Yi merely gave her a faint glance, turned around and headed for the house.
He has invited her in and being the junior, Fang Chixia has no reason to refuse.
She followed suit step by step reluctantly.
Luo Yi didn’t entertain her either. After inviting her in, he himself chased Harry around the house and played cat and mouse.
Fang Chixia was more comfortable without him and quietly surveyed the room.
The villa where Luo Yi lived was Chinese style, and the whole courtyard was designed with an ancient style and charm, even the furniture inside has a strong Chinese flavor.
It was old-fashioned and generally looked dated and reserved, but understatedly luxurious.
Many ornaments looked insignificant, but were worth a fortune.
The most striking of these was a vase of vintage carvings and pure white. Fang Chixia couldn’t tell what variety of porcelain was it. It white as crystalline jade, and at first glance must be priceless.
Fang Chixia stared at the vase for a while and cautiously stayed away from the vase for fear that she would accidentally touch it.
After strolling around the lobby for a while, she went back to the passageway inside.
On the path leading to the garden, a single gaze stared silently at her for a long time, and then took a few steps into the house as her figure disappeared.
Immediately following that, a crash sounded in the house, as if something fell on the floor…
Fang Chixia was still in the passage.
The place was designed in the style of a museum, and even the walls of the passageway were full of paintings to see.
The passageway was separated from the lobby outside by a wall. And with Fang Chixia perusing the sights intently inside, plus Harry’s barking in the villa from time to time, that little movement in the lobby escaped her hearing.
After standing in the passage for several minutes, Fang Chixia turned and headed back to the lobby.
Just as she walked in, she froze at the sight of the scattered debris on the ground.
Before she could react, a maid screamed suddenly outside the door, “Ah!”
The shriek was so shrill and panicky, as if something terrifying had happened.
Fang Chixia’s heart tightened and her gaze stiffened.
The maid looked at the debris on the floor and back at her. Incredulity was painted all over her face as she trembled visibly, seemingly scared.
